Does crow taste like chicken? You can exclude Endeavor as long as we always make sure they're excluded when it comes to fleet size, on time stats, passengers carried and anything else that could provide a "positive" result. What's being discussed here is not a "brand" thing, but...

Its rather simple argument to make you are on duty for a company for X hours however you are only compensated for Y hours. It's hard to see how 9th Circuit or the SCOTUS will rule against this. I don't know want argument AS will make but it will be interesting to see. I always thought FA's and pilot...

Right now, the Taliban finally chased us out of Afghanistan, also leaving Syria to Iran and Russia. How much did these hundreds of billions $$ of tactical aircraft with air-refueling help "win"? Air superiority....if you never been on the ground in war zome you will not understand the val...

I'm surprised as to why YVR-MCO or YVR-FLL can't work with the A220? Do people in Vancouver just go down to SEA and fly to Florida? I don't think an A220 can make it that far? Miami-Vancouver though is the single largest U.S.-Canada market without a non-stop, and MIA/FLL have extensive Canada servi...

Once the current leases begin to expire on the 717s, I see Boeing being very aggressive on pricing to keep those 88 birds wearing the widget. DL will get a smoking deal from Boeing without question.. whether DL will take it is another story.

Are these going to replace the 10 73G’s in their fleet? Why would DL get rid of the -700s while they still have many other 737 NGs including 900ERs still being delivered? They missed the peak of the resale market while WN was buying them up. They serve a purpose, have commonality, and are a newer g...

How much cargo can a containerized A321 theoretically carry? I think we'll see at least 1 or 2 widebodies on the mainland-SJU runs for the foreseeable future. The only other option is to hire a freighter to take the cargo for you... AA could simply run less cargo to SJU. See, wasn't that easy! If c...

Would it make sense to move the FIS from T4 to the T3 South extension? I was thinking to make at least 10 gates FIS capable (not dedicated) with 2 being dedicated widebody gates. AA may not like the idea but it would beneficial to more carriers overall. That would create an operational nightmare fo...

How much cargo can a containerized A321 theoretically carry? I think we'll see at least 1 or 2 widebodies on the mainland-SJU runs for the foreseeable future. The only other option is to hire a freighter to take the cargo for you but I assume it would still be cheaper to run your own metal. If the 7...

I am not sure how legal it is but Atlanta City Hall and Delta have an extremely close relationship/business partnership. They work together on everything since Delta pulling out would mean an economic depression for a large part of the city and state. Rumor has it, that this relationship is what ke...

Huge disagree. I doubt most rampers have the longevity or interest to identity what an hf antenna looks like. They also do not have the “skin” in the game that the pilot does. Get off your high horse. Rampers arent dumb. Most airlines train their rampers to understand the critical parts of the exte...

Question - when AA brings widebodies to PHX like the a330, what gates do they use? I haven’t seen one myself, but I would guess high-B since most of A and low B seem configured for narrowbody only. Anyone know?

I suggest posting in the Phoenix forum you'll probably get a faster reply there

There are still some opportunities for further expansion by WN at PHX, including the following: ⋅ Extending PHX-CVG nonstop service to daily year-round nonstop service ⋅ Adding PHX-BDL, PHX-MEM, and PHX-IAD nonstop service ⋅ Adding PHX-LGB nonstop service if WN can get...

I would not be surprised if an attempt is made merge CommutAir and Expressjet. I would be surprised. First of all, they currently are owned by two separate companies. Champlain owns one, this Mana JV owns the other. Even if they were one company, you can't whipsaw one pilot group against the other ...

I seem to recall, Mana Air is also majority owner of CommutAir. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the two carriers combined. Different company. Perhaps you could take a minute to check your facts before posting? "Headquartered in North Olmsted, Ohio, CommutAir, operating as United Express, was fo...

A318 being small, is there any chance government operator picking up for VIP type usage? I was thinking the same thing. The plane already has a 3,000 nm range. According to Airbus their A319CJ has a range of approximately 4,000nm so this could a rather a cheap option for a government to acquire an ...

I may be mistaken, but I believe their pilot contract requires any flying sold as a Southwest flight to be flown by a Southwest pilot. WN can codeshare technically after reading the clause it seems like the only regions they can codeshare to is Asia, Europe, & Austrailia/Oceania. North America ...

Usually this type of cargo flies in the cockpit. No So sad. I hope the heart survived for transplant. They must be packed to survive transport for 72 hours Holy crap. I never dreamed that human organs traveled commercial. Whenever it's portrayed in TV shows, the organs invariably travel by jet air ...

IWA is seeking an $18m federal grant to construct a new control tower. The current tower was constructed by the Air Force in the 70s, and is extremely outdated for the modern needs of the airport. Anyone who has been in that tower cab knows things are pretty tight up there. The airport requires a l...

Most likely an A330 MRTT. Apparently there was an Australian RAF A330 there about six or eight weeks ago, but the RAF and Luftwaffe also operate them to various points in the US fairly often. It looked like the Royal Australian Air Force A330..I saw it parked at Cutter yesterday. It was RAAF. It wa...

When will Envoy open up another E175 base? Currently, in 2019 there aren't any planned openings. If we get the Compass contract back, then we should hear something mid-year in order to start preparing (this is from our VP of Flight Ops). I honestly believe that AAG wants to put these planes with MQ...

Southwest is in for a rude awakening once they have to compete head to head with the CS100/300s of their competitors. Neither 73G nor 7M7 will win against them. Southwest's yield on these routes will take a beating. Keep eye on routes involving LAX, ATL, MCO & FLL this is where I believe it wil...

The one aircraft where you do come across it frequently is the 757-300.The 'front end' 'must' leave last. Really? It seems like First Class (in front of the door) leaves as they want on UAs last time I was on it... There is little to no risk of a tail tip incident on the 757 family. Have it be the ...

Where there any layoffs because of the loss of DL flying on the ASA side of the house? I a little bit surprised that Skywest let ExpressJet get 20 UA 175s (starting in 2019) instead of keeping it at Skywest https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/71407-expressjet-to-operate-emb-175s-for-united-as-of...

Wouldn't 25 overbooked be enough to see if one of their smaller planes could make an extra flight? 400 unhappy customers is pretty extreme, especially when it was JAL's fault. The problem would be that an extra section could not be readied before the airport closed for the night, and an equipment s...

[quote="jfklganyc" The most glaring network hole at present is MCO-FLL 2 or 3 times a day It will be low yield, but is needed for the operation.[/quote] I agree.. I wondered for years why B6 never ran this route. Prior to WN on the route, AA used to run 757s & 767s on the MIA-MCO route...

Today (Nov 18) is the first day of Hawaiian 332 service to PHX. Flight 36 arrives PHX at 2125hrs. Weird because I took a picture of an HA A332 landing here yesterday. I honestly didn't know they normally don't fly them here. The airplane you took a picture was HA operating a charter from OAK bringi...
